I'll Tell Me Ma (Live)

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is courtin' one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her

All the boys are fightin' for her

Knock on the door, ring on the bell

Sayin', my true love, are you well?

Out she comes as white as snow

Rings on the fingers, bells on her toes

Johnny Murray says she died

She doesn't get the fellow with the rovin' eye

Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high

Snow come tumblin' from the sky

She's as nice as apple pie

She'll get a fellow by and by

When she gets her lad of her own

She won't tell her ma when she gets home

Let them all come as they will

Or it's Albert Mooney she loves still

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is courtin' one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me, who is she?

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is courtin' one, two, three

Hey, please, won't you tell me, who is she?

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la

All right, one more time

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is courtin' one, two, three

Hey, please, won't you tell me, who is she?

Yeah
